The native of San Luis Potosí finished his qualifying heat in the last step, but his time was close to taking him to the Semifinals.
Iga clocked a time of 1:48.38, less than a second away from advancing to the top 16 swimmers in the event.
Despite a good start, the medalist at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games had a drop in performance in the second part of the event, which meant he was eliminated from the semi-finals.
Jorge Iga is still waiting to participate in the 100-meter freestyle on July 30 in the Paris 2024 Olympic pool.
